Needing Advice From Truckers And/or Trucker Wives

I think people jump to divorce before exploring any other remedies. Remember, we're just hearing one side of the story. There were also children involved. No marriage is perfect and difficult conversations are necessary and so is compromise.

Before I get ridiculed for turning down a better job

Andhe78, I don't know who you think would ridicule you for making the right choice. I can't think of any regular members here who would think you should have chosen differently. You did what was best for your family, that's what is most important.

after almost twenty years of being told we couldn’t have kids, I surprisingly became a father two years ago.

Congratulations! Seriously, that is one special child!

One of the greatest things to ever happen to me was conceiving and raising three children. Mine are all grown now and have provided me with nine grandchildren so far. There's nothing more special to me than spending time with them.

It sounds like you're going through a tough time juggling work, taking care of your toddler, and looking after your stepdaughter while your husband is back on the road as a trucker. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed and alone, especially with everything on your plate. One thing you might consider is having an open and honest conversation with your husband about how you're feeling. Maybe together you can find ways to support each other better, even with the distance. It could also help to reach out to friends or family for extra support when you need it most. Balancing work and family can be challenging, but remember, it's okay to ask for help and take some time for yourself too.
